To answer some questions...
No these are not FPGA "hard Copy" chips
These would be considered Cell Based ASIC
I am not going into specific details about certain aspects of the prototype asics / mining unit because some of this may change from prototype to production
Please note I do not claim to be the technical mind behind all of this, this protoype has been achieved through leases, and contractors
the SHA256 hashing core was (not designed by me) it was leased through a overseas design firm
the prototype asics themselves were made in a multi project wafer run program through a university
we are still shopping around for a long term manufacturer of these asics
the mining units will be assembled at the same place that assembles the modminer quad.
I am still working on getting caught up with emails, if you send me an email you should receive a reply some time today
I will answer PM's as well but it's almost always better to email me.
thanks!
*** we are only guaranteeing a minimal performance of 27Gh/s all other hardware details are subject to change possibly without notice
(we are still prototyping after all)
